IV Iron

Iron infusions are used to restore iron levels when deficiency is present and oral iron is ineffective or poorly tolerated. They may support energy levels, cognitive function, exercise tolerance, and overall well-being. Iron status is assessed through lab testing prior to treatment.

Signs of Low Iron (Iron Deficiency)

Iron is essential for oxygen delivery, energy, brain function, and hormone balance. When levels are low, symptoms can show up subtly at first and worsen over time.

Common signs include:

• Persistent fatigue or low stamina
• Shortness of breath with minimal exertion
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Brain fog, poor concentration, or memory issues
• Pale skin or dark circles under the eyes
• Cold hands and feet
• Headaches
• Hair thinning or hair loss
• Brittle nails or spoon-shaped nails
• Restless legs (especially at night)
• Heart palpitations
• Increased anxiety or low mood

Iron deficiency is common in menstruating individuals, during pregnancy/postpartum, athletes, vegetarians/vegans, and people with absorption issues.
